Tile repair in Prestonpans without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prestonpans questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Prestonpans?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Prestonpans. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
